1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

background and purposeThe SoUth Korean study to PrEvent cognitive impaiRment and protect BRAIN health through lifestyle intervention (SUPERBRAIN) showed that a multidomain lifestyle intervention targeting vascular risk, cognitive training, physical activity, nutrition, and motivation is feasible in older adults. However, its resource-intensive delivery limited scalability, and conventional aerobic exercise alone may not sufficiently support long-term adherence, cognitive-motor engagement, and cultural acceptability in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). To address these gaps, we developed the SoUth Korean study to PrEvent cognitive impaiRment and protect BRAIN health via Behavioral, Optimized, Organized Movement therapy (SUPERBRAIN-BOOM) in MCI, a mobile-based multidomain program integrating dance-based movement, nutrition education, and meditation.

methodsThis multicenter randomized feasibility trial will enroll 45 adults aged 50-85 years with MCI and at least one modifiable dementia risk factor. Participants will be randomized (1:1:1) to a tablet-based multidomain intervention, a smartphone-based multidomain intervention, or a control group receiving no intervention. The 12-week program consists of daily 30-minute home-based sessions (physical activity 20 minutes, nutrition education 5 minutes, meditation 5 minutes) delivered over four 3-week cycles, with assessments at weeks 3, 6, and 9 to adjust difficulty. The primary outcomes focus on feasibility (recruitment, retention, adherence ≥70%, and data completeness), and secondary outcomes include exploratory measures of cognition, physical function, vascular risk, nutrition, mood, quality of life, and motivation.

resultsRecruitment and data collection are ongoing.

conclusionsThis feasibility trial will inform the design of a future randomized trial evaluating a scalable, personalized mobile multidomain intervention for dementia prevention.
